it should have been in the base-files package which creates the /etc/skel

AFAIK bash doesn't use a ~/.profile file. I *think* it's the KORN shell

With many thanks to Yaakov, units has been brought up to date (1.87) and
brought into line with FHS.
All credit should go to Yaakov for his continuing (herculean!) efforts.
